  • So vitamin C is bad for you now?

    “Naturally occurring ascorbic acid and added ascorbic acid — which may be chemically manufactured — may have different impacts on health,” said Touvier, who is also director of research at France’s National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Paris.

    “Thus, the results observed here for these food additives are not true for natural substances found in fruits and vegetables,” she added.

    I know this might just be the reporting, but this feels kinda wishy washy. Why? What's different about it

    Gonna have to read the paper when I'm more awake

  • Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting's Brexit Conundrum

  • In the last general election, in most constituencies, a vote for someone other than labour was just a vote for keeping the Tories in. Who are the ones who took us out of the EU in the first place.

    The places where it made more sense to vote for an explicitly pro-EU libdem, they did just that.

    A vote for Labour in that election absolutely was the better vote for most voters that wanted closer relations with the EU (which is actually happening) compared to the Tory alternative.

    The next general election (likely 3 years away) will be a very different playing field and what you say may well track for that, but it doesn't really make sense for where we are now, since the current news cycle is about Labour members picking the next Labour leader once the current one is ousted by Labour MPs.

    Pretty hard for the vote to not be for Labour in this instance

  • How Reform Plans to Upend Decades of UK Climate Action | Richard Tice, Reform UK’s deputy leader, wants to revive Britain’s oil and gas industry and cut back on renewables.

  • Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels now, and this doesn't look like it will ever flip back.

    Seems like a fairly straightforward message that a vote for reform is going to ravage the finances of a lot of their voters

  • Updates nearly always contain security fixes these days, all of the details of those fixes are generally made public after the updates are released.

    Compared to a couple of years ago, it's comparatively stupidly easy for someone with relatively low skill, to take advantage of the huge list of security vulnerabilities that are being found every day in software you use. Linus Torvalds recently said the Linux security mailing list is inundated to the point of unsustainability due to the recent uptick.

    Skip an update if you don't care that you could be risking someone taking a load of credit from dodgy brokers out in your name, amongst all the rest of the fun that identify theft can entail.

    You don't have to be big to be a target now, we're all gonna get caught in dragnets unless we keep on top of things

    Google Changes Its Search Box for the First Time in 25 Years

    Jump

  • I think it's a way more simple thing

    The classic point of an online search engine is to send you to the site with the information

    Now they want you to not go to the site and instead see the information they stole from it without ever leaving their site

    It used to be a bridge, now it's a doorman motivated to keep you at the door

  • I get your bit, but know I struggle to not read any of your comments as Brian Badonde. And slightly more seriously, I'm gonna hope you've not already been told you're needlessly making life difficult for any dyslexic people using the fediverse. Up to you what you do with that information, you can do what you like after all.

    That aside, that model of value is fairly intuitive for things you worked for. A kid has a kinda more difficult situation in that regard, they have no real way to work for something, practically all ownership is gifted. Then you've gotta remember for many families, something like a games console isn't even strictly owned by the kid, but rather a family possession.

  • Stops a 20-something from going into a shop with a bag of cash and walking out with a rolex or a luxury car

    I'm sorry, but what exactly is the problem with that

    And also I don't know what world you're living in where a €10k car is considered luxury (unless you're saying all cars are luxury, in which case we may have some common ground)

    If a 20-something (or any-something, more importantly) has that money and they want to spend it, what's the problem

    Why should someone be made a criminal for selling a car for cash

  • Professional software engineers of Lemmy, are code reviews still a thing in the age of "AI" assisted coding?

  • It's all the fucking job is now

    I long for the days when I reviewed something, noticed an issue, commented, the recieving engineer learned something and we all got better as a result

    Now I basically get the privilege of wasting 10 mins and telling someone they fucked up in a way unfathomable to them, because they haven't got a clue what they just put in front of me

    Oh and it's my manager's manager doing it

  • Do parents not teach their kids the value of shit these days?
